A huge platter of opportunities
The firm is yet to declare a profit and stated it would use the money raised to invest in the business for better growth and expansion.
The way it has grown since its commencement is commendable. They also said, have enormous opportunities for expansion. “The way we think about it is simple: there are 21 meal occasions in a week- breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. Right now less than one of those 21 transactions takes place online. We are working to change that”.
